Abstract

Provided is a conveyance seat having a seat frame that suppresses a resonance by a simple means in a seat frame with an actuator. A conveyance seat is a conveyance seat having a seat frame with an actuator and includes a resonance suppressing portion which is formed in at least a part of the seat frame by a first uneven region formed by continuously forming a plurality of non-penetrating recesses and/or protrusions. Since the natural frequency of the seat frame changes, the resonance of the seat frame due to the operational vibration of the actuator can be suppressed.

Claims (40)

1 . A conveyance seat having a seat frame with an actuator, comprising:

a resonance suppressing portion which is formed in at least a part of the seat frame by a first uneven region formed by continuously forming a plurality of non-penetrating recesses and/or protrusions,

wherein:

the seat frame includes a seat back frame,

the seat back frame includes a pair of back side frames which are arranged on both sides in the seat width direction and an upper frame which connects upper ends of the pair of back side frames,

the upper frame includes inclined portions at both right and left end portions,

the resonance suppressing portion is disposed on the inclined portion,

a through hole is formed on the inclined portion of the upper frame, and

the resonance suppressing portion is disposed at a position not overlapping an edge of the through hole.

2 . The conveyance seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein a plurality of the resonance suppressing portions are provided in the seat frame, and

wherein the plurality of resonance suppressing portions are arranged at a position symmetrical with respect to a center in a seat width direction.

3 . The conveyance seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resonance suppressing portion is disposed above the actuator.

4 . The conveyance seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resonance suppressing portion includes the first uneven region and a second uneven region which has a narrower range than the first uneven region and is formed by continuously forming the plurality of the non-penetrating recesses and/or protrusions.

5 . The conveyance seat according to claim 4 ,

wherein the seat frame is provided with a recessed portion which is recessed inward in the seat width direction and the first uneven region of the resonance suppressing portion is disposed at a position avoiding the recessed portion.

6 . The conveyance seat according to claim 4 ,

wherein the seat frame is provided with a recessed portion which is recessed inward in the seat width direction, and

wherein the second uneven region of the resonance suppressing portion is disposed in the recessed portion.

7 . The conveyance seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the seat back frame includes a wire member supported by the inclined portion, and

wherein the resonance suppressing portion is disposed to avoid a portion in which the upper frame supports the wire member in the inclined portion.

8 . A conveyance seat, having a seat frame with an actuator, comprising:

a resonance suppressing portion which is formed in at least a part of the seat frame by a first uneven region formed by continuously forming a plurality of non-penetrating recesses and/or protrusions,

wherein:

the seat frame includes a seat back frame,

the seat back frame includes a pair of back side frames which are arranged on both sides in the seat width direction and an upper frame which connects upper ends of the pair of back side frames,

the upper frame includes inclined portions at both right and left end portions,

the resonance suppressing portion is disposed on the inclined portion,

the seat back frame includes a reinforcement member that connects both side portions of the upper frame, and

the resonance suppressing portion is disposed on the reinforcement member.

9 . A method for manufacturing a conveyance seat having a seat frame with an actuator, wherein the seat frame includes a seat back frame, the seat back frame includes a pair of back side frames arranged on both sides in a seat width direction and an upper frame connecting upper ends of the pair of back side frames, the method comprising:

preparing the upper frame that includes inclined portions at both right and left end portions of the upper frame;

preparing the pair of back side frames; and

connecting upper ends of the pair of back side frames via the upper frame, wherein:

a resonance suppressing portion that includes a first uneven region formed by continuously forming a plurality of non-penetrating recesses and/or protrusions is disposed on each of the inclined portions of the upper frame,

a through hole is formed on each of the inclined portions of the upper frame, and

the resonance suppressing portion is disposed at a position that does not overlap an edge of the through hole.
